The Radavist

I’ve been tempted to roll with Paul MiniMOTO brakes on my cross bike this year. Especially after seeing Kyle‘s photos of this Nature Boy all pimped out (love the Easton fork on this by the way). Check out more slickness here.

I really, really dig the photos Colossi shot for their new Rambler CX frameset. Check the rest out at their Flickr.

Of course, if you wanted a single speed that weighed a little less, you could always go with the All-City Nature Boy Zona:

“Nature Boy Zona LE 2012

$795 MSRP

These bad boy’s are now decked out in black and silver and will be arriving in September.

Last year our run of 80 framesets sold out in a flash, so if you want this 1/2lb lighter version of the Nature Boy with a Press Fit 30 Bottom bracket, you need to act quick.

We are taking preorders now, so get into your local shop and let them know that you want one.

Like last year these will only be coming in 4 sizes, 49,52,55, and 58.  However this year we tweaked the geo so that the 49 and 58’s mimic the standard Nature Boy (last year they were .5 mm shorter and longer respectively).”

All-City

A lot of people asked what kind of bike Andy was riding during out walkabout in the Aussie bush. The answer is the Trek Presidio, from Cecil Walker. This SRAM-equipped, entry level, STEEL cross bike was a the perfect tool for the ride we went on. Head over to Fyxomatosis for the full review!

This came out so good. I’m very pumped on Endo, GSC and Tracko!

“Los Angeles based bike shop Golden Saddle Cyclery worked with local cycling apparel manufacturer Endo Customs to create their first run of shop kits. What better way to showcase a kit than on cyclists riding the bikes they love. Or maybe we just wanted an excuse to go ride our bikes in these fancy kits…

I’m way into this build that Blue Lug compiled for their Hunter Cycles cross frame. Check out more details here, at the Blue Lug Flickr!

Jono from Paul sent me this photo of one of the Team Paul Comp rider’s bikes. I like everything I see here.

“I have no idea why lime green tape looks so good on that bike. It’s like a fucking rainbow of awesomeness.”

Amazing. Ritttttayyyyyyyy has a new post up, showcasing their 2012 lineup of pretty things. Head over and check it out!

I have been salivating over the idea of a Profile Racing road / ‘cross hub since Christian first spun the cassette in the phone to me over a year ago. I like a loud hub and having ridden White Industry, Phil and Chris King, I’m very excited to try out the new Profile Elite RC hubs this coming ‘cross season. When the UPS delivery man dropped off the box today, I had to fry ’em up and see them glow.

Check out more below.

Max from Tokyo Fixed Gear let me know that there would be a sneak peek of their 2012 bikes dropping today but I was not expecting this. I love the TFG frames. Lauren loves her Dream Machine Cargo and now, for 2012, two new models are out: the DART and the Wide Open. Check out more of their 100% steel line below!
